I mentioned LAST YEAR that I cannot wait for MAGIC in Feb!! It is going to be quite a fun trade show…I just know it! I have an annoucement coming soon regarding why I would say that but for now let’s focus on how much fun the opening event will be raising funds for 210!  Registration is now open, so click on the link below and don’t miss the party….I personally am a HORRIBLE bowler…and when I say horrible….. I mean HORRRRRRIBLE….26 total points…yep that’s me. So don’t expect me to be doing a whole lot of actual bowling, but do expect to have a lot of fun networking with great people!!

From the 210 site:

The Opening Night Party is not your typical event and is the first of its kind for both organizations. The event seeks to bring together young professionals from throughout the industry in a networking atmosphere, while hosting them for some friendly, albeit competitive bowling. In addition to bowling, party-goers will enjoy cocktails, prizes, music and much more all in a private section of The Orleans in the heart of the Las Vegas strip.
